CO.1.Physical Science
Physical Science
1.1. Identify and calculate the direction and magnitude of forces that act on an object, and explain the results in the object's change of motion. Students can:
1.1.a. Predict and evaluate the movement of an object by examining the forces applied to it
1.1.c. Develop and design a scientific investigation to collect and analyze speed and acceleration data to determine the net forces acting on a moving object
1.2. There are different forms of energy, and those forms of energy can be changed from one form to another - but total energy is conserved. Students can:
1.2.a. Gather, analyze, and interpret data to describe the different forms of energy and energy transfer
2.2. Organisms reproduce and transmit genetic information (genes) to offspring, which influences individuals' traits in the next generation. Students can:
2.2.a. Develop, communicate, and justify an evidence-based scientific explanation for how genetic information is passed to the next generation
3.1. Weather is a result of complex interactions of Earth's atmosphere, land and water, that are driven by energy from the sun, and can be predicted and described through complex models. Students can:
3.1.a. Differentiate between basic and severe weather conditions, and develop an appropriate action plan for personal safety and the safety of others
3.1.b. Observe and gather data for various weather conditions and compare to historical data for that date and location
3.2. Earth has a variety of climates defined by average temperature, precipitation, humidity, air pressure, and wind that have changed over time in a particular location. Students can:
3.2.a. Develop, communicate and justify an evidence-based scientific explanation to account for Earth's different climates
3.2.c. Examine, evaluate, and question information from a variety of sources and media to investigate how climates vary from one location to another on Earth
3.3. The solar system is comprised of various objects that orbit the Sun and are classified based on their characteristics. Students can:
3.3.a. Construct a scale model of the solar system, and use it to explain the motion of objects in the system such a planets, Sun, Moons, asteroids, comets, and dwarf planets
3.3.f. Recognize that mathematical models are used to predict orbital paths and events
3.4. The relative positions and motions of Earth, Moon, and Sun can be used to explain observable effects such as seasons, eclipses, and Moon phases. Students can:
3.4.a. Develop, communicate, and justify an evidence-based explanation using relative positions of Earth, Moon, and Sun to explain the following natural phenomenon:
